In an appearance on Face the Nation this morning, Rep. Darrell Issa revealed several new pieces of information about the Obama administration's controversial description of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, casting doubt that the White House mischaracterized its cause by mere accident.

"The talking points were right and then the talking points were wrong," Issa explained in response to a question about reporting at the Weekly Standard. The CIA and Greg Hicks, who took over as Charge d'Affairs in Libya after the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, both knew immediately that it was an attack, not a protest.

Hicks, who did not appear on the show but whose reactions were featured based on transcripts of interviews with Issa's committee, said he was stunned by what UN Ambassador Susan Rice claimed on five different news shows on Sep. 16. When she appeared on Face the Nation, she followed an interview with the President of Libya who claimed he had "no doubt" it was a terror attack. Moments later, Amb. Rice contradicted him and claimed a spontaneous protest was more likely.

Acting Ambassador Hicks watched the Sunday shows and said he found this contradiction shocking. "The net impact of what has transpired is the spokesperson of the most powerful country in the world has basically said that the President of Libya is either a liar or doesn't know what he's talking about," he accused. Hicks added, "My jaw hit the floor as I watched this...I've never been as embarrassed in my life, in my career as on that day."

Hicks believes the stunning failure of diplomacy on the Sunday news shows explains why it took the FBI three weeks to gain access to the Benghazi site....

According to KSFO am radio SF, the guy that made the anti-muslim terrorist You Tube video that the WH blamed for the 9/11 Benghazi attack is still in jail in San Diego CA. Maybe it’s time to let him out.

Yes..and Obama and his cronies also caused more deaths across the Middle East by blaming a video many had never heard about until the WH started shouting about it from the rooftops and the riots and death spread like wildfire!

(TIME FOR OBAMA TO ANSWER FOR BENGHAZI UNDER OATH!!)

I don’t even know what to believe. Was there indeed a video, or was it just something some staffers patched together at the last minute? Do we have an actual photo of the videographer? All I saw was a guy with his face covered being dragged off to jail.

(Not all of us are hypnotized.)

The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.

The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government, a senior administration official told POLITICO

Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.

And here 0bamugabe and Hillary work together to try to prop up her 'video did it' nonsense and spread it even further.

Only the final one was forwarded, by persons unknown, to Sheikh Khalid Abdullah the cleric in Cairo who aired it on TV. Nakoula, the maker of the original film, was not the one who uploaded the final version, Innocence of Muslims, to the internet.

You can hear some interesting things about the timeline of all these iterations of "the movie" in the Youtube video linked below. Start at 9:30 and watch to 16:00 for the meat of that.

Where has this guy been for 8 months? there had to be pressure on these guys to keep quiet.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He had to assure that he was protected and lawyered up, plus he had to arrange for that golden book contract
for when he went public. All of the whistle blowers will
make huge volumes of coin of the realm. (I have no problem with that as long as the truth comes out). These kind of arrangements take time.
